Chapman Gets an NCAA Bid in Basketball
The Chapman women’s basketball team received its first NCAA bid in 12 years when the pairings for the Division III West Region tournament were announced Sunday.
The Panthers, seeded fifth in the region, will play Wednesday in the first round at fourth-seeded College of St. Benedict (20-5) in St. Joseph, Minn. Chapman (19-6) lost its regular-season finale to UC San Diego on Feb. 22. The loss stopped a nine-game winning streak and likely cost the Panthers a first-round home game.
UC San Diego is seeded third and will host sixth-seeded Pomona-Pitzer.
Chapman last qualified for the NCAA tournament in 1985 as a Division II team.
